Visual programming language

<p>In <a href="/facts/Computing/Kghtm9fX">computing</a>, a visual programming language (visual programming system, VPL, or, VPS), also known as diagrammatic programming, graphical programming or block coding, is a <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> that lets users create <a href="/facts/Computer_program/e38jH9N9">programs</a> by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of <a href="/facts/Syntax/6PxSV98p">syntax</a> or <a href="/facts/Secondary_notation/0zjpR3Le">secondary notation</a>. For example, many VPLs are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations. VPLs are generally the basis of <a href="/facts/Low-code_development_platform/JEEGmlVl">low-code development platforms</a>.
